LJ-Genie: Twitter

So, can anyone out there give me a Twitter tutorial? I've been meaning to
try it out, it seems interesting, but I don't really 'get' it. How do you
send tweets? Via the web, or sms messages, or what? Where do they go, or
where can they go, and how do you get them there? How can you read
other peoples' tweets? Do you have to be at the website?

Sarah Connor Chronicles on the decline?

Huh. News seems to be that The Sarah Connor Chronicles is dying;
bleeding viewers every episode in Season Two and unlikely to return for
Season Three. I'll say that I'm actually quite surprised: I can't believe
it made it to a second season.

Reality
outruns all Satire.

Though, apparently Google did it on purpose. And as far as I'm concerned,
that makes them awesome.

I just saw headlines for "the first photo-taking GPS bike." I'm trying
really hard to understand why anyone cares. Google Bikepath View?

Yeah, it's a slow day at work. Why do you ask?

The Crash

This
article, about a financial analyst in California who just killed his family
and himself this week, makes me think: why is it that there never seem to be
any signs? There have been lots of murders and suicides and shootings in
the last decade, and every time it seems like the line is, "there were
troubles, yeah, but nothing that would point to this. This was pretty much
completely unexpected."

Also, yet another comparrison between the current crisis and the 1929 crash
that lead to the Great Depression. To me it seems a bit far to stretch,
but... do you guys get the feeling it's an accurate, or at least reasonable,
comparrison? Are we about to fall that far?
